Filing in context

For scale, 4,592 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 5 months.
Defect
On aerial work platforms, the suspension system was designed with insufficient consideration of the full range of suspension travel, leaving inadequate clearance between the work platform and the rear axle torque rod. When the suspension moves through a large range of motion — such as during rough-road operation — the work platform may contact the rear axle torque rod and the hose clamps in the surrounding area. Continued use under this condition may cause dents and other damage at the contact points.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the bump stopper with a revised unit incorporating an additional spacer. If contact damage is already present, repair the affected areas.

状況
高所作業車の緩衝装置において、設計時の可動範囲の想定が不十分なため、作業台（高所作業装置を載せた台）と後軸トルクロッドとの隙間余裕が少ないものがある。そのため、悪路走行等、緩衝装置が大きく可動した場合、作業台と後軸トルクロッド、トルクロッド周辺のホースクランプが接触するおそれがある。そのままの状態で使用を続けると、接触部に打痕等の損傷が生じるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スペーサを追加したバンプストッパに交換する。また、接触部が損傷している場合は修正する。
